Well, these reverse 911/ emergency calls aren't exactly timely. Just got a robocall telling people around FM116/FM580 to take cover. That's Pidcoke. That storm is already in/ past Gatesville.

Stay safe down there. Some of the pics I've seen are epic (in a bad way). On the bright side, your drought is probably over. |

Our ranch in Topsey area was right in path. I live in Austin so family is safe. Prayers for friends and neighbors in the area.
